Item Numerical and theoretical investigation of bolted sleeve connections with rectangular hollow sections.(2023) Oliveira, Matheus Miranda de; Amparo, Lucas Roquete; Tanus, Lucas da Silva; Monteiro, Isabella Estevão; Alves, Vinicius Nicchio; Sarmanho, Arlene Maria CunhaThis article presents a theoretical and numerical study of bolted sleeve connections with rectangular hollow sections (RHS) under axial tension and compression. The geometric form of a hollow section provides resistance for high axial loads, torsion and combines effects, spreading its utilization in truss systems. In this context, the sleeve connections proposed explore these characteristics of RHS and offer an attractive aesthetic appearance for the continuity of elements. The bolted sleeve connection with RHS is formed by two outer tubes connected by an inner tube and staggered bolts. Herein, a parametric study was developed for identification of the failure modes in the connection. Finite element models with different geometric parameters and number of bolts were created in commercial software. The width, depth and thickness of RHS tubes and diameter of bolts were variated. In the theoretical/numerical/ parametric results, the yielding gross section failure, the fracture through the effective net area failure and the bearing failure were observed. These failure modes occurred in both outer and inner tubes. The load results were compared to determine the resistance capacity of sleeve connections. The theoretical formulations were evaluated for representation of the ultimate load of the failure modes.Item Design of sleeve connections with cross-bolted on circular hollow sections under axial tension.(2022) Amparo, Lucas Roquete; Oliveira, Matheus Miranda de; Sarmanho, Arlene Maria Cunha; Xavier, Ellen Martins; Alves, Vinicius NicchioThis present paper evaluates the behavior and resistance capacity of cross-bolted sleeve connections with circular hollow sections (CHS) under axial tension. This connection allows harmony in the continuity of the tubes. The cross-bolted sleeve connection with CHS comprises outer tubes connected by an inner tube and cross bolts at 90◦. Therefore, an experimental, numerical, and parametric study was conducted to identify the connection’s possible failure modes. The experimental tests were developed with cross bolts at 90◦, which enable the identification of fracture through the effective net area, bearing failure, and bolt bending. Finite element (FE) numerical models were developed and validated by Ansys software to provide a parametric study. Thus, such a parametric study was carried out using the verified FE models. The failure modes were evaluated considering the effects of geometric properties concerning their type and location; a relative slenderness limit for the design of connections was proposed, directing the occurrence of a failure in the outer tube. Normative prescriptions do not foresee the design of the sleeve. Therefore, new formulation methods for estimating the strength were proposed, allowing the design of these connections.Item Effect of chord length on CHS-RHS T-joints with slender sections.(2021) Pereira, Daniel José Rocha; Guerra, Messias Júnio Lopes; Sarmanho, Arlene Maria Cunha; Silva Neto, João Batista da; Nunes, Gabriel Vieira; Alves, Vinicius NicchioThe chord length is an essential geometric property that must be defined in the analysis of isolated joints composed of hollow steel sections, as well as the boundary conditions of the test. The analysis of these parameters’ effect on the behavior of joints has been addressed by other studies, mostly with joints between circular hollow sec- tions with compact or semi-compact cross-sections. Recent research about tubular joints has addressed cases with slender sections, where the design of joints containing these sections is still in development. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of the chord length in the behavior of T-joints between circular hollow section braces and slender rectangular hollow section chords through experimental tests and a numerical study considering the application of axial compression at the braces. The joint behavior was examined through the load-strain and load-deformation curves and the von Mises stress distribution, which allowed the failure mode's determination and the joint resistance value. Chord face failure was observed in the prototypes. It was concluded that a minimum chord length of 0.6m would be the adequate value for the study of the T-joints containing the geometric properties used in this study, which would be equivalent to a chord length five times higher than the width of the cross- section (5b0).Item Bearing failure in bolted sleeve connections with circular hollow sections under compression.(2020) Oliveira, Matheus Miranda de; Amparo, Lucas Roquete; Sarmanho, Arlene Maria Cunha; Pereira, Daniel José Rocha; Alves, Vinicius NicchioThis article analyzes sleeve connections between circular hollow sections. This type of connection is composed of two tubes connected by bolts to an inner tube with a smaller diameter, and explores the efficiency, aesthetics and resistance of hollow sections subjected to tension and compression. In previous researches, sleeve connec- tions with aligned and crossed bolt dispositions and under axial tension were studied. Herein, the behavior of sleeve connections with aligned bolts and under compression was analyzed. A model to represent the connection using the finite element method was developed, which allowed a numerical analysis with geometric property varia- tions. In the numerical/parametric results, bearing failure was observed in all cases, either in the outer or inner tube. Limiting the number of bolts to 6 and considering that connections have a lower outer thickness than the inner tube, a formulation was proposed to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of sleeve connections under com- pression and with bearing failure.Item Comparison between exact and approximate methods for geometrically nonlinear analysis prescribed in design standards for steel and reinforced concrete structures.(2022) Lecchia, Laís de Bortoli; Ferreira, Walnório Graça; Costa, Paulo Manuel Mendes Pinheiro da Providência e; Sarmanho, Arlene Maria CunhaCurrent practices in structural engineering demand ever-increasing knowledge and expertise concerning stability of structures from professionals in this field. This paper implements standardized procedures for geometrically nonlinear analysis of steel and reinforced concrete structures, with the objective of comparing methodologies with one another and with a geometrically exact finite element analysis performed with Ansys 14.0. The following methods are presented in this research: Load Amplification Method, from NBR 8800:2008; the z γ coefficient method, from NBR 6118:2014; the P-Delta iterative method and the αcr coefficient method, prescribed in EN 1993-1-1:2005. A bibliographic review focused on standardized approximate methods and models for consideration of material and geometric nonlinearities is presented. Numerical examples are included, from which information is gathered to ensure a valid comparison between methodologies. In summary, the presented methods show a good correlation of results when applied within their respective recommended applicability limits, of which, Eurocode 3 seems to present the major applicability range. The treated approximate methods show to be more suitable for regular framed structures subjected to regular load distributions.Item New methodology to analyze the steel–concrete bond in CFST filled with lightweight and conventional concrete.(2021) Natalli, Juliana Fadini; Xavier, Ellen Martins; Costa, Laís Cristina Barbosa; Rodrigues, Bárbara Héllen; Sarmanho, Arlene Maria Cunha; Peixoto, Ricardo André FiorottiThe construction sector is constantly seek- ing for new building systems that are cheaper, faster and with a reduced generation of residues. In this way, the use of concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST) increased due to its fast and clean execution, and its high mechanical strength, durability and ductility. The performance of this system depends on the steel– concrete interaction that occurs in the form of a natural bond. The present work evaluates the natural bond mechanisms manifested in thin-walled steel tubes filled with three types of concrete: conventional, lightweight and lightweight with expansive admix- ture. Push-out tests were realized in the CFSTs and the results were compared with bond strength values prescribed by international standards. Finally, the residual concrete adhered to the CFST interface was evaluated by a new methodology using visual resources. Results indicated that the lower modulus of elasticity of the lightweight concretes contribute to the enhancement of the confinement effect and microlocking. And the expansive admixture improved the adhesion performance of the filling core. Addi- tionally, the new methodology presents a good correlation with the other tests and it is easy to apply.Item Experimental and numerical analysis of composite steel and concrete trusses.(2021) Martins, Joel Donizete; Pereira Junior, Sineval Esteves; Xavier, Ellen Martins; Neiva, Luiz Henrique de Almeida; Sarmanho, Arlene Maria CunhaIn the present work, two composite trusses formed by tubular shapes supporting a concrete slab were evaluated. Based on analytical formulation related to the problem, according to recommendations of standards, numerical analyses were performed, with models created using the software Ansys, and an experimental analysis with full-scale tests. Good agreement between the three analysis types was observed. A possible shear connection failure in one truss was observed. With a change in the second truss's connector length, an increase in the structure's strength and rigidity was achieved. In this study, because the shear connectors were directly welded on the upper chord wall, local effects with localized plastifications were evidenced.Item Study of bolts used as shear connectors in concrete-filled steel tubes.(2021) Chaves, Marina de Fátima Ferreira; Xavier, Ellen Martins; Sarmanho, Arlene Maria Cunha; Ribeiro Neto, Juliano GeraldoThis research presents a numerical analysis of bolts used as mechanical connectors in circular concrete-filled steel tube columns. The numerical model was calibrated with the experimental results and was analyzed different parameters such as bolt lengths, steel tube thickness, and concrete strength. The finite element model was developed in Abaqus software, using different constitutive models of concrete behavior. The results indicated that: (1) The thickness of the steel tube must be compatible with the diameter of the shear connector showing an ideal ratio between 1.3 and 2.0; (2) The length of the shear connector did not cause a significant change in the load capacity; (3) The minimum distance between the shear connectors of six times the diameter was enough to prevent overlap in their failure modes.Item Behavior and design formulation of steel CHS with sleeve connections.(2021) Amparo, Lucas Roquete; Oliveira, Matheus Miranda de; Sarmanho, Arlene Maria Cunha; Xavier, Ellen Martins; Alves, Vinicius NicchioStructures with tubular profiles gain space in civil construction due to their excellent response under tension, compression, and torsion. They are widely used in structural trusses, especially in large lengths. The profiles have a limited size due to the manufacturing and transport process. Therefore, there is a need to use some mechanism to perform the joint of profiles and obtain the desired length. This work aims to develop a new type of bar splice in circular hollow section (CHS) connection called sleeve connection, composed of two tubes connected with another smaller diameter tube with bolts arranged in a line (staggered bolts). This research presents an experimental, numerical, and parametric study of sleeve connection in CHS under centric axial tension. A numerical model was developed using the finite element method (FEM) considering sleeve connection with staggered bolts. From the numerical results, it was possible to analyze the connection behavior and failure modes: yielding gross cross-section, fracture through the effective net area, bolt shear failure, bearing failure of the plate, and bolt bending failure. This way, formulations were proposed to predict the sleeve connections' behavior with staggered bolts as a function of the failure modes.Item Experimental and numerical assessment of CHS-RHS T-joints with chords subjected to axial tensile forces.(2021) Silva Neto, João Batista da; Nunes, Gabriel Vieira; Sarmanho, Arlene Maria Cunha; Pereira, Daniel José Rocha; Guerra, Messias Júnio Lopes; Alves, Vinicius NicchioHollow steel sections are widely used in the construction industry due to their mechanical properties. Joints used in these structures are the subject of research because of their singular and critical behavior. Joints containing chords with more slender cross-sections and axially loaded are still a challenge for design, especially in joints with circular hollow sections (CHS) in the braces and rectangular hollow sections (RHS) in the chords. In this context, this work aimed to study joints formed by a combination of CHS braces subjected to compression loads and RHS chords axially loaded with tension, welded as T-joints. Experimental tests, a numerical model using finite elements, and a parametric analysis were developed. A new equation for the chord stress function was proposed, including joints containing chords with semi-compact sections in tension. The joint resistance values obtained through the numerical models were compared with the equations from ISO 14346:2013 and with the proposed equation. It was observed that, for the numerical models with geometric properties inside the normative validity ranges of ISO 14346:2013, the mean rate of analytical by numerical joint resistance results was equal to 68%, using either the normative or the proposed equation. In the same way, for models outside the current validity ranges, either the proposed equation or the modified equation from ISO 14346:2013 could be used to design CHS-RHS T-joints with the geometric and material properties analyzed.
